About Click The Sphere:
Ok, so let me preface this review by saying that I am only giving it a thumbs up because I want the game to succeed, and it looks like the devs are listening to feedback. For example, there was a patch on day 2 to address a complaint that most people had (not a bug fix, but a mechanic change). There is a foundation for what could be a really fun game, and a different take on the genre; at least I have yet to play anything exactly like it. As others have said, it does give off Frostpunk vibes, and I think it feels a little like Surviving Mars as well; both of which are games I really enjoy. That being said… This game is not going to be for everyone, in it’s current state. The UI/HUD is terrible and offers very little information at all. The research method is an interesting concept, but there is way too much RNG involved. Also, some of the beginning techs are practically impossible to research unless you have god tier luck, or wait until you are several hours into a game. The game is also difficult, which I am down for because I enjoy a more difficult city builder. But, the difficulty is solely based on the fact that you can run out of Materials (one of 3 basic resources). And, when you run out of Materials your power plants stop working, which causes your shield generator to stop, which instantly ends your game (the city crashes). So, if you are willing to essentially play test a game and provide feedback/suggestions to the dev team then this is a good purchase. I do not regret buying it, I feel like I have gotten my $16 worth out of it already, and will continue to play it.
